How to Turn on Print Layout in Google Docs

To turn on Print Layout in Google Docs, simply follow the process below:

1. Locate and Click on the “View” Menu

In our example, we will work with a document titled ‘Impact of Social Media on Teenagers,’ containing two pages.

Look towards the top of the screen for the menu bar, which includes options like File, Edit, and View. Click on the View menu to expand it. This menu contains several display options that help you control how your document is presented.

2. Turn On Print Layout in the View Menu

Under the “View” menu, look for the Show Print Layout option and uncheck it. This action will switch the viewing mode of your document to Print Layout, showing page breaks and overall layout.

3. Check for Page Breaks and Margins to Verify Print Layout

After switching to Print Layout, examine your document to ensure it displays page breaks and margins. In our example, we will now see the break between page 1 and page 2.
